Hege Stuen & Henrik Lund, Norway
Lainie & Pascal,
The polar bear, the "egg" and their little snorkel mouse say goodbye for now. We thank you for a pleasant stay in your beautiful beach house, and we'd be proud to recommend your hospitality to all our friends back home in Norway.
Roatan, December 23, 2000

Thanks for a wonderful return visit! Your place is truly the "Pearl of the Island!" We look forward to meeting Baby #2 next time.

Violet Edmonds, USA
What a lovely place to live in. When I saw the children here I think, "this must be 'kid heaven!'" We really enjoyed our visit. Hope to return.

Three weeks of fun on the run in Roatan. Must be close to a record number of November sunny days

Gislain, Canada
The week has been too short. We didn't know what to expect when we arrived here and we had a lot more than we hoped for. It is really a paradise on earth that you have here. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be back for sure. Thanks for everything.
Roatan, November 25, 2000

Kristin & Felix (Norway)
This is just a beautiful place! The past four days (our stay at Island Pearl) we have really been enjoying life. This was a perfect ending of our honeymoon and the weather was excellent, even though it is not the season for that!
Thank you very much for our stay!
Roatan, November 17, 2000

Julien et Mathylde
On dit que tous les goûts sont dans la nature. Plus précisément, on trouve chez vous les bons goûts dans une belle nature. Mais ce sont vos qualités humaines que nous ne sommes pas prêts d'oublier. Gros bisous à Olivier, nous connaissons précisément les 12 heures qu'ont précède la naissance. Bravo et merci aux champions de tarot. À bientôt ici de là. Julien
Milles merci pour votre accueil votre générosité. Nous espérons pouvoir revenir bientôt et goûter aux spécialités culinaires du chef! Mathylde.
P.S. désolée pour le tarot, je vais essayer de progresser!

Mark & Mieke, USA
Pascal & Lainie,
Thank you for sharing your dreams with us. With just four days to see Roatan, we "lucked out" by staying at the best spot on the island. We wish the best for you.
Roatan, October 10, 2000

Marisa & Granja
Muchas gracias por su hospitalidad. Pasamos una semana inolvidable. Lo mejor, el jardín de las culebritas. Lo peor, los mosquitos. Pero de cualquier manera, eso sigue siendo la Perla de la isla. Gracias la simpatía de su familia.
Roatan, October 7, 2000

Will Tomlinson and Nicole Hollis
Thank you for your hospitality and generosity-Mike is the greatest! Keep this small and intimate and tell the Italians to keep the noise down! Thank you again-hope to come back soon.
Roatan, September 24, 2000

"A New Rescue Diver," USA
Two weeks, two weeks! Cannot be so? A great time except for Mike crying out "pizza" and here we go again for another rescue-talk about being put through the paces-excellent stuff-even my two dive masters were impressed-so well done. Looking forward to the return trip and being able to relax (if possible) in the new bar/recreation area. I think Pascal needs to practice his "boule" game. Lovely spot, lovely people and a great dive instructor (Mike)-Thanks 106
Oh yes-and I can vouch for the rare coral frog!
Roatan, September 17, 2000

Steve Higgs & Sherry Warburt, USA
Well it's time to go back to the cold & rain. Thanks to you all for your great hospitality & friendliness. Thanks to Mike for the great diving and thanks to super baby Olivier for the cool trucks and coral frogs. Hope to see you all again. Lots of love

Andrew Trader & Marie Hurabie, USA
Lainie-Pascal-Olivier
Thank you so much for the hospitality! Mario and I had a fabulous time. We will be back as soon as possible. We were thrilled to host you and other Island Pearl guests at our wine and cheese party, although Pascal stole the show with his Cohibas and Havana Club. And thank you for reciprocating…dinner was wonderful!!
Pascal is a true renaissance man (quite a catch Lainie!) You have a wonderful place and a wonderful family. Please keep the IP the same…warm + beautiful. Andrew
Roatan, September 9, 2000

Mike & Jennifer Molsito, USA
Our only regret about coming to Roatan is that we have to leave. Thank you, Lainie and Pascal, for making our stay here a memorable one. Thanks alot Mike for making our diving experience here unforgettable (too bad we couldn't teach him to play card as well a he taught us to dive). Best of luck with your expansion-we hope to visit again soon and enjoy the added amenities.
Roatan, September, 2000

Miguel, France
S'il y avait des termes pour vous définir, je dirai Pascal le "businessman malgré lui" et Lainie le "sourire enchanteur." Merci pour ces moments passes en votre charmante compagnie. De notre petit séjour de 3 semaines (Gaute-Honduras) ces 4 jours à Roatan auront sûrement été les plus intenses. Du fond du cœur merci.
Roatan, August 20, 2000

Stan, France
Merci à vous pour nous avoir ait profiter de ce petit coin de paradis…auquel il ne manqué plus que de conserver "Garbit"! En espérant pouvoir revenir d'ici 2 ans, je vous souhaite de continuer à nager dans le bonheur avec votre famille.

Laura, Italy
Roatan, el mejor lugar en Honduras, West Bay, la mejora playa en Roatan y Island Pearl es sin duda el mejor resorte para quedarse aquí. Muchas gracias por su amabilidad a Lainie, Pascal, Melissa y Olivier. Gracias, Merci, Thank You, Grazie!!

Dear Lainie & Pascal
I would like to say in English how this place is nice and beautiful but unfortunately I'm Italian, so I will say it in my language.
Il posto e veramente bellisimo espero d tornerci.

Roatan, August, 2000

Achim Reinhold and Anja Jakos, Germany
The best part of the beach, the shortest way from the beach to the fridge, the best dive instructor (Mike) and beautiful houses-this is the perfect place to relax and make the best of your vacation. We will come back for sure, Achim
Pascal, I promise to improve my French 'til the next time we meet again! Thanks a lot, Anja

Jim, Peggy, Matt, Jonathan & Gabe Tuttle, Guatemala
Thank you for your hospitality & continue care for our stay while we were here. We want to come back each year for the rest and peace. If it's possibly within your time, could you give us an email and tell us how everything is going here. I see new construction and would like to find out how it turns out. The houses are well designed and decorated (good job). God Bless You.
Roatan, July 31, 2000

Andy Tael & Anna Hakansson, Sweden
Luckily for us we found your place on the web, it is much more beautiful in real life that you are trying to describe on the web. It is really as calm and peaceful as you describe your place. Until next time we really hope that you've got a new boat engine and that the baby bird on our balcony knows how to fly…
Thanks a lot.
Roatan, July 21, 2000

Bich Tyler, England
Dear Lainie,
Thank you. We love everything except the flies.

Thank you for a visit in Roatan we will always remember. You have a lovely, quiet setting, very comfortable. We look forward to returning next year. Good luck!!
Roatan, July 16, 2000

Karen Eckhardt and Maarten Borst, Holland
Thank your for your hospitality, dinner, music & laughs. You've got the best place in town but finish your house to get comfortable yourself! Hopefully we can come back for X Mas to relax again. We will mail you soon.
p.s. don't let the Italians get over you and the beautiful beach.
Roatan, July 13, 2000

Tina, Gorm, Gard &Angie, Norway
To start off, I am going to say that you are the best spot on Roatan!!…The beach, the house, and your hospitality is the BEST-we will come back!! You also have an excellent dive instructor. He should make A LOT of money. Like we say in Norway…"Kortoggodt," which means to make a long story short. THIS HAS BEEN GREAT!!
Roatan, July 5, 2000

Dorothie & Frank
Lainie, Pascal, Mike,
Thanks so much for a fabulous stay. With one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, we also found the perfect home-thanks to you! Thanks to Mike, who is not only patient but also highly entertaining, I had my most enjoyable dives. I hope we will be back and enjoy your beautiful houses and showers, and you!
Roatan, July 5, 2000

Yael Heynold, Australia
Lainie & Pascal, Susan and Mike,
Only thanks to your charming environment and even more your endless personal warmth, my Roatan stay turned out to become a very memorable holiday. Topped with:
- delicious French cooking ("ce n'est pas important si tu n'as pas faim")
- exotic Cuban rum ("ce n'est pas important si tu n'as pas soif")
- the first enjoyable dives in my life (and this is coming from down under)
- crazy Friday night out (don't mention Saturday though)
- and the most eccentric French humor. You're all welcome to visit in Australia - would love to see you again many thanks Many thanks!
Roatan, June 26, 2000

Debra Owen & Todd Magoch, USA
This place, from the moment I woke up to the day of sun & serenity, is like the vacation place I've always dreamed of. It's so quiet & beautiful, and listening to the gentle lapping of the waves from the porch and hammocks gave me the relaxation I came here for. You've done a fabulous job creating a cozy and private getaway (and so full of your creativity). Thanks for sharing it with us & for your hospitality. And Mike is a great instructor-he made our diving experience fun and very educational. I'll be back again, hopefully soon.
Roatan, June 25, 2000

Anna, Joe, Maggie & Joey Mazzetti, USA
What a lovely find on Roatan! Island Pearl had everything we needed for a family of four and the most perfect of locations. The staff were great, especially Divemaster Mike who taught us to dive and made our vacation unforgettable. Our ten days here have flown by. It's been wonderful.
Roatan, June, 2000

Katharina, Jörn, and little Christian Severlob, Guatemala
We enjoyed our time at your place very much, diving (master) was great and we hopefully come back soon. Many thanks.
Roatan, June 10, 2000

Eric, Holland, Jordan & Wylie Geibel, USA
Although we were here a short time, thank you for a rescue from disaster! Really enjoyed the setup. The beach and surroundings are beautiful. The diving instruction with Mike was excellent. Hope all returns to peaceful times now that Wylie's visit is over. I think Jordan's love of the water will bring us back here soon.
Roatan, June 8, 2000

Laura, Phil & Grant Gintler, USA
"Island Pearl" is aptly named. We have had a wonderful time enjoying the house and all of the beauty that surrounds us here. We were looking for this place for a long time! So many places all look the same, have the same atmosphere, etc…all over the islands. You have created an island paradise-just what I imagine when I think of getting away and replenishing my body, soul & spirit. We loved our certification program with Mike!! He is an excellent teacher and made learning so much fun!! He's the BEST! We sincerely thank you for your great hospitality-everything was fantastic & we hope to return soon.
Roatan, June 3, 2000

Alan, Karen & Lila Dell Leveritt, USA
Lainie & Pascal-
We've enjoyed ourselves immensely. The time here was made more enjoyable by the family atmosphere here. Many thanks
Roatan, April, 2000

Bob, Kelly, Erik, & Brianna, USA
Lainie & Pascal,
We all had a great time and were really pleased to see how Island Pearl compares to the other places we considered on Roatan. The diving is great and we really enjoyed Michael. All of you were really good with the children, and it made a great time that much better. The house was ideal for us and was just like we had hoped. We all look forward to our next trip to Island Pearl.
Roatan, April, 2000

Mario Hernandez & Maribel Santes, Honduras
You probably know it, but I just have to congratulate you on the unique concept you got here. In one word, "vegetation." I can't imagine why the rest of the beachfront places don't realize that's the way to go. It's really a bubble of pristine oxygen; add sea breeze; add white sand, crystal clear Caribbean coral reefs, and you got a real "Island Pearl."
Roatan, April 23, 2000

Horacio & Julia Barros, Gloria Pavoa, Honduras
It was great, we had a lot of fun and the place was very comfortable and very nice. We enjoy being here, and we were very satisfied. We hope we come soon and come here again.
Roatan, April 23, 2000

Stan & Flo McWillis, USA
Lainie, Pascal & Olivier,
If we only knew Island Pearl was going to be so perfect. We would have booked another week. See you next year for two more incredible weeks (after Easter).
Roatan, April 21, 2000

Craig, Jackie, Sean, Emily, Graham, Janet, Stephen, Ben & Sam Mcneman, USA
The greatest gift for my 50h birthday on Roatan were the four days that we spent learning to dive with you. Mike is a great teacher; patient, safe and humorous. But the true highlight of our trip was the dinner that Pascal made to celebrate my birthday. From the delectably flavored fruit cup, through the stuffed tomatoes with cucumber, to the incredible lobster and fruit tart, it was a celebration that I will cherish forever. And all in the dark-the electricity appropriately went out just before 7:00 pm! I couldn't have asked for more. Much love. Craig
Roatan, April 20, 2000

Tom & Geralyn
Lainie & Pascal-
We are so lucky to have found your incredible place! Everything was incredible-the diving, our accommodations & of course Pascal's cooking (thanks!). It was like a honeymoon without the wedding! Be sure we will be back next year. Thanks for everything!!
Roatan, April, 2000

Ingrid Schoals, Belgium
Lainie, Pascal
What a place! After a month hard working and the first babies were born, this was just what we needed to relax. Thank you and hope to come back!
Roatan, April, 2000

Cliff Kaye, USA
Lainie, Pascal,
We had a blast here! Your place is the best on the wholeRoatan island. I will tell everyone that this is the only place to go on Roatan. I liked your dive operation, the beach and your whole staff.
Roatan, April 7, 2000

Roger, Serrie, Seth & Sam, USA
Lainie & Pascal
Thanks for everything-when I saw your place I had to stay 5 more days-thanks for finding an instructor to certify me. We hope to come back and maybe run your place while you go to France. If you visit the States, try to come to our ranch.
Roatan, April 3, 2000

Dan & Caitlin Fisher, USA
Lainie & Pascal & Olivier,
I am so glad I found you on the internet, sad we didn't plan our whole vacation here, and mad we must leave. You have created wonderful places to stay on an ideal beach. I believe your bungalows are loving expressions of who you are. Their creativity, originality, and artistic works are as welcoming and intriguing as the three of you. Hope to return Dan
Lainie and Pascal,
Thank you so much. I have never been to such a beautiful place. You have done a wonderful job with Island Pearl, and I hope to return someday soon, Caitlin
Roatan, April 4, 2000

Anja & Jurgen, Gemany
At the end of our two-month trip (traveling through Yucatan, Belize & Honduras) Island Pearl was a really nice place for relaxing. We enjoyed it-swimming in this beautiful bay, preparing our own fish in the kitchen, and last but not least, diving. Renée showed us a lot of very interesting dive sites here in Roatan.
Roatan, March 29, 2000

Donna, USA
Lainie & Pascal-
Friends from all over the world come together here at your paradise. We became slaves-slept late, ate and drank too much, swam in the warm waters-our batteries now charged. We return to our places far away but take with us a part of your world you have shared.
Roatan, March 17, 2000

Stephanie Tschiegg "Boss", USA
Lainie & Pascal
It is the people with dreams that make the world a better place. It is people who follow their dreams who affect individuals' lives the most. Thank you for dreaming, and creating Island Pearl you have given a great gift to many, including myself. I wish you success in all that you dream.
Roatan, March 17, 2000

Melissa Harrison (Girlie), USA
I am grateful that my friends have introduced me to the beautiful island of Roatan, and I am grateful, Lainie and Pascal, for your hospitality. This entire week has been a wonderful gift…Thank you.
Roatan, March 17, 2000

Rachel Ollar, a.k.a. Slim, USA
Lainie & Pascal~
Coming back for a second round in your beautiful space has been a blessing. Looking out over crystal clear seas every morning & watching the sunset over them every evening-it doesn't get any better than this! Thank you both very much for sharing your exquisite house with us. Great luck or karma led us back a year after our first visit. Si Dios quiere we'll be back for another idyllic stay! Thank you again.
Roatan, March 17, 2000

Hoover family, USA
I love this place! It's beautiful here. We were living in the Mermaid place in West End of Roatan, but we moved here, and thank you that we did. Clear, blue water, nice people, it's a paradise. Thank you again, and I PROMISE we will be back. Thanx. Heather

Thank you so very much. This has been an absolutely perfect vacation. I woke up every morning in disbelief that I was actually here in a gorgeous house looking out over picture-perfect blue-green water. And your house-OH MY GOD!! The sunsets from the roof, naps in the hammock, reading in the swings while listening to the waves crashing 50 yards away. I just cannot believe how perfect this has been. Thank you so much for everything. We'll DEFINITELY be back next year. All the best. Nathan

This has been FANTASTIC-as close to heaven a can be! Thank you so much for rescuing us from West End!J You have made our stay EVERYTHING we wished for-Renée and the scuba diving was unbelievable-this ocean-this house-our dream vacation has been so great. Thank you so much. See you next year. Hope you get more sleep!! Beth

Joe Abranna, USA
Lainie, Pascal and Olivier,
A Pearl is a special treasure from the sea.
WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY?
Thanks for the excellent work, in an excellent location at an excellent place. We could not have enjoyed it any more. I didn't notice any names from your book from Arizona; I'll see if I can change that. Thanks also to the dive guys, Rene, Hilda & cute Benedict, that kind of personal service can't be beat.
Roatan, March 10, 2000

Tom Milten & Jennifer Schwab, USA
Thanks to you both for your hospitality; despite Taca's attempts to spoil our holiday, your help and wonderful place made it all worthwhile. Loved the house, locale and diving. Thanks to you both.
Roatan, March 3, 2000

Micki & Steve, USA
Lainie And Pascal -
I am so glad that I believed everything that was in your website-and give thanks to the internet service it allowed us to find your beach houses. They are terrific, the best-especially our palm screened porch and upstairs balcony. Can't believe we can be so close to the water, yet so private. Thanks for all you've done to make our stay comfortable-it went too fast and we'll be back! Let us know if we can return you the hospitality in the states. We love the imagination of your houses, Micki
OLIVER! Thanks for your company today & for your wise and good parents, Steve
Roatan, March 3, 2000

Patrick, USA
Worst place on the planet-but I'm coming back!!! After 30 years of trying to do very little and traveling most of the islands-sadly watching their decline-I stumbled into here. Can you believe it, this is the finest attempt at beach living-that's good and bad. The good is you found it. The bad-it's all down hill from here.
Roatan, February 2, 2000

Juan y Cecilia, Argentina
Buscábamos un lugar idílico de aguas turquesas, arena blanca y ambiente amigable, y cuando creíamos que no existía llegamos a West Bay al Island Pearl. Aquí tuvimos unos días de maravilloso descanso gracias a la cordialidad de Pascal y Lainie. Muchas gracias por estas hermosas vacaciones después de un largo viaje. Un abrazo a ambos y mucha suerte en el futuro para ustedes y Oliver!!
Roatan, February 22, 2000

Sky, Barbara & Matt McCann, USA
Dear Lainie & Pascal,
Merci, Gracias, Thank You! Your Island Pearl is truly the gem of West Bay Beach, Roatan. We will always remember the wonderful time we had here! Thank you for making it so easy for Mat to get his certification, and for arranging such great diving for us with Rene & Hilda. The reefs are as beautiful as the beach. We feel blessed to have met you, and we wish you both, and Oliver, peace, health, and happiness forever!
Roatan, February 20, 2000

Mike & Barbara, USA
Dear Lainie & Pascal,
We enjoyed ourselves so much. We appreciate your hospitality & wish you all the best for the future. The place we stayed was fabulous.
Roatan, February 13, 2000

Brad Yerhot, USA
Thank you both for a wonderful ten days of vacation. Your Web Page doesn't do justice to the beauty of your houses. It is obvious that you both have an eye for beauty. We look forward to another stay in the years to come. Pascal, your sense of humor won't be forgotten, Thank you and best of luck with your family.
Roatan, February 7, 2000

Chrissy & Pat Hughes, USA
Thank you to Lainie & Pascal for a second wonderful trip. We love Roatan & have enjoyed your company & Island Pearl. Dives were great. Thanks to Renee & Hilda. We look forward to seeing both of you & Oliver in the years to come.
Roatan, February 7, 2000

Jill Medland, USA
Pascal and Lainie-
It was 6 degrees F the night we left home. When we arrived here, it was probably 72 degrees F, perfect humidity, beautiful sea breeze. Thanks for providing such a great place to go barefoot, snorkel, sun and read. Ahh….now that's what I call a vacation! Best wishes to you and your growing family.
Roatan, February, 1999

Kate Hansen, USA
Pascal and Lainie-
Thank you for creating such a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the ocean and surrounding hills. I appreciate all your helpful suggestions of what to do, where to go, and especially the idea to snorkel at night! I wish you well on your efforts to prevent the growing destruction of the land and the reef, and hope this place can remain special. Perhaps I can return to Roatan and see you again-and see Olivier walking on his own! Warm regards.
Roatan, February 6, 2000

Marianna Young, USA
I had a wonderful time here. First time snorkeling for me-I hear it will be very hard to beat that quality. I appreciate the efforts of Lainie & Pascal in making our stay fun, varied & very relaxing. To help all us visitors treat your environment better, I'd like to see a posting of the "10 Reef Commandments" in every cabin. (I saw these in a West End dive shop-so that we can all try to be a bit more aware.) Thanks to you both very much!
Roatan, February 6, 2000

George, Carol-Anne & Geoff Trowell, Canada
Lainie, Pascal, Olivier & Lainie's Mum-
We've had a wonderful holiday in Roatan at the most beautiful beach we have ever seen. Accommodation is first class. It is great to be able to do your own cooking. The snorkeling was awesome and the weather delightful-a real contrast to our Manitoba weather! We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and quiet way of life that West Bay had to offer.
Roatan, January, 2000

Nuestra primera visita al Caribe y la entrada por Roatan, West Beach no podía haber sido mejor. Lugar encantador (sorprendentemente encantador), mar increíble, confortablemente instaladas y atendidas por Island Pearl cabañas y sus cordiales dueños.
